she aisiained from engaging another maid in
consequence Of the extrerts dislike which his
loraship expressed 60 having strangers IN the
house ia the state OF bis health at that time.
The dl.sppearance Of the courier Fsrrari
Is. ia itself. PROFESSIONALLY a suspicious cir
cumstance. Neither her lsdyship nor the
baron can explain it, and no investigation
tsat we could make hiss thrown the smallest
lI.at on this event, or has jussifed Us in asso
cleting il. either directly or indirectly, with
the object Of our inquiry. We have even
gone the length OF examining the portInsn-
teau which Fsrrari left behind him IL con-
tains nothing but clothes and linen--no
money, and not even a scrap OF paper in the
pockets of the clothes. The portmsntsau re-
mains in charge OF the police
I'VE have also found opportunities Of
speaking privately with the old woman who
attends to tbs rooms occupied by her lady
ship and the baron. She Was recommended
to dill this position by the keeper Of the res
taurant who has supplied the meals 60 the
family throughout the period Of their resi-
dence At the palace. Her character is most
favorsbly spoken OF. Unfortunately her
limited intelligence makes her of no value as
a witness We wers patient and careful in
questioning her, and we foand her perfectly
willing TO answer Us; but we could elicit
nothing which is worth including in the pres
ent report.
"Oa the second day OF our inquiries we had
the honor OF an interview with Lady Mont
barry. Her ladyship looked miserably worn
and IN, and seemed to be quite at loss TO
understand what we wanted with her. Baron
Rivar, WAC introduced us explained the ma
ture OF cur errand in Venice, ard took pains
20 assure hsr that it was purely formal duty
on which wo we're engaged. Having satisfied
her ladysbip on this point, he discreetiy left
the room
The questions which we addressed to Lady
Montbarry related mainly. OF course, TO his
lordship's illness. The answers, given with
great nervousness OF manner, but without
the slightest appearance of reserve, informed
Us OF the facts that follow:
Lord Montharry had been out OF order for
some time past-nervous and irritable. He
first complained of having taken cold on Nov
IL. last; he passed waksfu and fsverisb
night, aud remained in bed the next day. Her
ladyship proposed sending for medical advice
he refused to allow her to do this, saying
that ne could quite easily be his own doctor
In such trifing matter as cold. Some hot
lemonade was made at his request, with a
view TO producing perspirstion. Lady Mont
barry's maid having left her at that time, the
courier, Ferrari then the only servant in the
house went out to buy the lemons. Her lady
snip made the drink with her own hsn,is. 10
was successful in producing the perspiration
-and Lord Montbarry had some hours OF
sleep afteruard. Later in the day. having
need Of Ferrari's services, Lady Aontbarry
rang for him. The bell was not answered
Baron Rivar searched for ths nan, in The
palace and out of 1t, in vain. From that time
forth, not a trace Of Ferrari could be discov-
cred. This happened on Nov. a.
"Ou the night of the l4th, the feverish
symptoms accompanying his lordship's cold
returned. They were in part, perhaps. attrib-
utsbe TO the annoy ancs and alarm caused by
Ferrarfs mysterious disappearance. IL had
been impossible to conceal the circumstance.
as his lordship rang repeatedly for the
courier: Insisting that the man should relieve
Lady Montbarry and the baron by taking
their places during ths night at his bedside.
"on toe 18th tine day ON which the old wo-
man first came TO do the houSswerk), his
lerdship complained OF a sore threat, and Of
n feeling of oppression on the chest. On this
day, and again on the 18TH, her ladyship and
the baron entreated him TO see a docsat. HE
still refused Il don't want strange faces
about me; my cold will run its course, in
o2itc of the dsctor-thst wss his answer On
the 18th he was 50 much worse. that il was de-
cided 10 send for medical help whether he
liked it or not. Baron Rivar, after inquiry
at the eonsuls, secured the services Of Dr.
Bruno. well known as an eminent physician
in Venice, with the additional recommcnds-
tion OF having resided in England, and hav-
ing psds. biraself acquainted with English
forms Of medical praotice
THUS far, ON account Of his lordship's ili-
uess has bssn derived from statements made
